Give Hope to Carlo Jr. Today
Donation protected
My nearly 5-month-old son experienced a cardiac arrest while asleep at 2 months old on October 8th, 2024. By the time I found him, I thought I had lost my everything and more. After coming back to us, being incubated for nearly 2 weeks, MRIs, blood tests, and more, we were told to send him to hospice. They told us he has minimal brain activity, has anoxic brain damage throughout his entire brain. They also said he wont talk or walk. I refuse to give up on my son; I just can't. Week by week, he seems to be getting more spastic, legs going in painful directions, can't talk anymore, dependent on a G-tube, and in constant pain. The medications and therapy don't seem to be helping as he is worsening at a fast pace. Day in and day out, he is in screaming pain or he's sleeping from the sedative medications. I am creating this GoFundMe because I don't have any other option but to beg others for help in raising money for my son to get a treatment. The treatment is oxygen therapy that has been known to change life for other children like my son Carlo Jr. He absolutely needs the treatment, and people from all over the world have gone to this clinic to receive the treatment. Please, this is my last hope. I can't sleep or be okay knowing he's in so much pain. All donations will be used to cover the cost of travel for myself and baby Carlo Jr. as well as his treatments. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
